Use Ellie in Slack when the question starts in a team conversation or when a result should be delivered to a channel or manager.

Set up Slack

1

Connect the workspace

Open Settings → Slack Notification and connect the approved Slack workspace.
2

Add destinations

Add the Entelligence bot to every channel where it must read or post. Private channels require explicit membership.
3

Map users

Open the Slack mapping under Settings → Team and map Slack users to the correct Entelligence members.
4

Configure notifications

Choose the delivery scope and channel mapping required for the pilot. Avoid enabling every notification type at once.

Ask a first question

In a pilot channel, ask a scoped question:
For OWNER/REPO during the last 7 days, summarize merged pull requests and include source links. Do not create or update anything.
Verify the response against the Git provider.

Slack commands and notifications

Workspace settings expose these notification families: Use the command help presented by the installed Slack app for exact syntax and availability.

Permissions and boundaries

  • The Slack app can access only the workspace and channels authorized for it.
  • Entelligence permissions and source permissions still limit the answer.
  • Direct-message delivery depends on correct user mapping.
  • A Reactor can listen to a channel and may initiate external work. Review its instructions and filters separately.
  • Do not paste secrets, access tokens, or private source into a channel with broader membership.

Verify

  • The bot responds in the intended channel.
  • A private channel is unavailable until the bot is added.
  • Source links point to authorized systems.
  • A direct report reaches the mapped user.
  • Disconnecting or removing the bot stops future access or delivery as expected.
